Nodes and Thoughts: Things to Share

Here are some key thoughts of inspiration:

1)Check out Walt Whitman's Preface for Leaves of Grass at:

This preface, though dense, is packed with such special things as uniquely enclose and coinhabit with my soul— emotions, insights that are quiet and fearless, reverent and benevolently connected to many oceans and spheres of life. His vision is vast, and brings me to such vast places within me.



2) Kiki Smith's sculpture and printmaking:

The delicate gestures of her drawings, the subtle qualities she captures, the dreamlike realm I enter with both her two dimensional and her three dimensional works captivate and inspire me this semester, as i gravitate towards these types of sensibilities— translucencies, and the natural world— in my own work.
